UN relief chief fast-tracks funds for displaced people in Yemen
Digital Desk | United Nations, Sep 16 (IANS) UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher has released 9 million US dollars in urgent funds to provide assistance to displaced Yemeni families and their host communities, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The United Nations and its humanitarian partners continue to support displaced families and others caught up in the hostilities. But humanitarian supplies and resources are running low, said OCHA on Tuesday (local time). Humanitarian access and movement remain severely constrained due to insecurity. Movement along key routes is restricted or suspended, making it harder to reach many of those in dire need, said OCHA. The office calls on all parties to protect civilians, respect international humanitarian law, and facilitate safe and unimpeded humanitarian access so that urgently needed assistance can reach people in need, reports Xinhua news agency. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said that escalating hostilities along Yemen's western coast have displaced more than 100,000 people inside the country and forced thousands more to seek safety across Bab al-Mandab Strait in Djibouti. The UNHCR said that humanitarian access is a major challenge and that insecurity, damaged roads, telecommunications disruptions and movement restrictions affect operations. Damage to Al Makha port has further constrained humanitarian movement and logistics. The agency said that fighting has uprooted families across several governorates, raising concerns about further displacement inside Yemen and additional refugee movements if hostilities intensify. Many families fled at short notice with few belongings. Shelter, food, clean water, health care and protection services are among the most urgent needs, as receiving communities and displacement sites become overstretched, said the UNHCR. The agency said that over the past four days, more than 2,400 people have made the sea crossing from Yemen to Djibouti. More than 60 per cent were women, children and older people. People are arriving after a difficult sea journey, many exhausted, distressed and carrying what little they could take with them, said Sandrine Desamours, the UNHCR representative in Djibouti. The response is already under pressure. We urgently need more support before more families arrive and needs outpace our capacity to assist them. The UNHCR is also monitoring the possibility of onward or parallel movements toward Somalia, where contingency planning is under way should additional arrivals materialise. The agency said it is deeply concerned about more than 65,000 registered refugees and asylum-seekers inside Yemen, most from Somalia and Ethiopia, who face renewed risks.

BRS women MLAs complain to NHRC, NCW over Telangana Police assault
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 11 (IANS) Women MLAs belonging to BRS on Friday approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the National Commission for Women (NCW) in New Delhi, alleging that Telangana Police assaulted and humiliated them while preventing them from entering the State Assembly. They sought the intervention of the national commissions over alleged violations of their rights as elected representatives and the conduct of police personnel. A delegation of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLAs, MLCs and MPs and senior leaders separately met NHRC Member Vijaya Bharathi and NCW Chairperson Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar and submitted representations detailing the incident. According to a BRS release in Hyderabad, former ministers and BRS MLAs P. Sabitha Indra Reddy and V. Sunitha Lakshma Reddy apprised the commissions of the alleged police action at the Assembly entrance. They alleged that they were manhandled despite being women legislators and accused the police of preventing elected representatives from entering the House. Sabitha Indra Reddy alleged that she was physically restrained and that police personnel pulled her by the hair and pressed her throat during the incident. Sunitha Lakshma Reddy alleged that her saree was pulled, causing her severe humiliation. The BRS leaders questioned the authority of the police to prevent elected legislators from entering the Assembly premises. The BRS leaders also alleged that despite lodging a complaint with Telangana Police, no action had been taken so far. They pointed out that more than 100 hours had passed since the incident, yet no FIR had been registered against those allegedly responsible for assaulting the women MLAs, while cases were instead registered against BRS legislators. The leaders lashed out at the Telangana government for remaining silent over the alleged police excesses and demanded accountability. The BRS delegation urged the NHRC and NCW to order a comprehensive and impartial inquiry, ensure preservation of all CCTV footage from the Assembly premises, identify those responsible and initiate appropriate action. They also sought protection for the dignity and rights of women legislators. Former Ministers G. Jagadish Reddy and Satyavathi Rathod, MLC Surabhi Vani Devi, MLAs Kova Lakshmi and Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra and BRS leaders Soma Bharat Kumar and others were part of the delegation.
91st All India Railway Athletics Championship gets underway in Kolkata
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Sep 11 (IANS) The 91st All India Railway Athletics Championship 2026 got underway at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Ground in Salt Lake, Kolkata, on Friday, September 11, 2026. The championship is being organised by the Eastern Railway Sports Association (ERSA) for the second consecutive year under the auspices of the Sports Promotion Board. The three-day-long tournament was declared open by Gitika Pandey, general manager, ER, in the presence of Neeraj Verma, principal chief operations manager, ER and president, ERSA, and other top officials. Twenty-four teams from various zonal railways, production units and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) are participating in the championship. There will be nearly 500 athletes for the various track and field events, officials said. Pandey, in her opening address, highlighted the importance of sportspersons' spirit. Participation in a true sportsperson-like manner is more important than winning, she said. She also appreciated the efforts put in by the ERSA in organising such a pan-India event. The general manager also handed over the medals to the winners of the 1,500-metre race (men), which was among the first events to be held. Several top sportspersons and coaches were present during the inaugural ceremony. They included Arjuna Awardees Joseph Abraham, Jitendra Kumar, J J Shobha, Pappu Yadav, Soma Biswas and Saraswati Saha. Padma Shri recipient and Arjuna Awardee L Bombayla Devi was also one of those present. So was Arjuna Award and Dronacharya Award winner Mohammad Ali Qamar. Olympians Sanjay Ray and Bhawana Jat also attended the event. Apart from the 1,500-metre races, events such as marathon, javelin throw, High jump, discus throw, relay, shot put, hurdles, hammer throw, decathlon and heptathlon are among the events to be held till September 13 for both men and women. Indian Railways has always patronised sports, and several of our athletes and other sportspersons have won honours for the country at international events. Some among these athletes are also likely to leave for the Asian Games in Japan later this month. This tournament will be good practice for them. ERSA will leave no stone unturned to make the championship a success, an official said.

Mumbai airport: Kirit Somaiya seeks demolition, FIR over unauthorised structure
The development has triggered a fresh controversy over structures and alleged encroachments near sensitive airport premises. Former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya has demanded immediate demolition of the structure and criminal action against those allegedly responsible for its construction
MMRDA declares airport-adjacent structure illegal; Kirit Somaiya demands immediate demolition
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Tensions have escalated near Mumbais Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Terminal 2) after the Maharashtra Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) confirmed that a religious structure operating near the high-security zone lacks statutory planning permissions and is unauthorised. Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirit Somaiya has alleged a deliberate attempt at unauthorised land occupation -- characterising the structure as Land Jihad -- and has pressed state authorities and site operators to initiate criminal action against the trustees and individuals responsible. Following complaints regarding unauthorised construction near sensitive airport land, MMRDA verified that no official approvals, building sanctions, or permissions were ever granted for the religious structure. MMRDA has issued formal notices to Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) directing the immediate removal and demolition of the unauthorised structure to ensure the perimeter remains clear. Somaiya has formally requested both MMRDA and MIAL to go beyond physical clearance by registering a First Information Report (FIR) against the managing trustees and individuals associated with the illegal construction. The controversy highlights ongoing scrutiny surrounding unauthorised encroachments adjacent to critical national infrastructure. Officials note that unregulated structures near VIP corridors, taxi parking lanes, and terminal facilities pose significant security hazards. The matter aligns with previous judicial observations where courts have emphasised that public safety and secure zones near international hubs supersede unauthorised religious claims or structures erected without explicit administrative approvals. Authorities from MIAL and local police departments are currently reviewing directives provided by MMRDA regarding execution steps and necessary security arrangements during the scheduled clearance drive.

Chennai corporation intensifies dengue surveillance after intermittent rain
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) The Greater Chennai Corporation has intensified dengue surveillance and mosquito-control operations across all 15 city zones as intermittent rain raises the risk of water stagnation and fresh breeding sites. The civic body has directed health teams to closely monitor neighbourhoods where dengue infections have been reported and carry out stronger source-reduction measures. The renewed drive is intended to identify fever cases early, eliminate mosquito-breeding habitats and prevent local clusters from spreading. The instructions followed a district-level review meeting chaired by Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Dr Somasundaram. Zonal health officials were told to maintain heightened surveillance in affected localities and ensure that preventive work is carried out without delay. Private hospitals have been asked to submit daily reports on patients being treated for fever. The reporting system is expected to give public health officials a more immediate picture of possible outbreaks, enabling field teams to respond quickly in areas showing an increase in cases. Mosquito-control workers conducting door-to-door visits have also been instructed to gather information about residents suffering from fever. Any such case must be brought immediately to the attention of the respective health inspector for verification, follow-up and further reporting. Alongside surveillance, the Corporation has ordered an intensified campaign to remove discarded materials and other objects capable of collecting rainwater. Special attention will be given to vacant plots, hospitals, schools, government offices, parks and construction sites, where unattended containers and debris can turn into mosquito-breeding grounds. Officials are expected to inspect vulnerable premises and ensure that stagnant water is cleared regularly. The measures cover both public spaces and private properties, reflecting concern that even small collections of water can support mosquito breeding following spells of rain. Residents have been asked to support the campaign by preventing waste from accumulating around their homes. They should keep overhead tanks, ground-level tanks and wells properly covered, and check their premises regularly for stagnant water. The civic body has particularly advised households to empty water collected in flower-pot trays and other containers at least once every week. Similar checks should be carried out on terraces, balconies and yards after rainfall. The Corporation said coordinated reporting by hospitals, field workers and residents would be crucial to detecting fever cases early and reducing dengue risk across Chennai during the wet spell.

World leaders express grief over passing of Tanzania's First Gentleman
Digital Desk | Dar es Salaam, Sep 7 (IANS) World leaders expressed grief on Monday over the passing of Hafidh Ameir Hassan, Tanzania's First Gentleman and husband of President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who died at a hospital in Zanzibar while being treated for a heart ailment. Vice President Deogratius Ndejembi announced the death, saying Hafidh died at about 8 a.m. He was to be buried the same day at Kizimkazi in Zanzibar. I have received with deep sorrow the news of the passing of Hafidh Ameir Hassan, husband of Her Excellency Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Kenyan President William Ruto said in a post on X. On behalf of the Government and people of Kenya, the First Lady, my family and on my own behalf, I convey our heartfelt condolences to President Samia, her family and the people of Tanzania. President Samia has lost a lifelong companion, her children a beloved father, and Tanzania a distinguished son. Kenya stands with our Tanzanian brothers and sisters in this moment of grief. May Almighty God comfort President Samia and her family, give them strength through this difficult time, and grant Hafidh Ameir Hassan eternal rest. My sincere condolences to my sister, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, her family, and the people of Tanzania on the passing of H.E. Hafidh Ameir Hassan, Rwandan President Paul Kagame said.

Crossing party lines, rebels and rows: Rajasthan civic polls take a dramatic turn
Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Rajasthan's urban local body elections are producing scenes that go far beyond the usual Bharatiya Janata Party-versus-Congress contest. In the final days before voting, party lines appear blurred in some wards, political friendships are taking centre stage in others, while rebellion, protests and unusual campaign tactics are adding drama to the electoral battle. From Nathdwara to Sikar, Kota to Jodhpur and Dungarpur to Jaipur, the campaign trail has witnessed everything from a BJP candidate openly supporting a Congress rival to a Congress candidate blessing a JP contestant and even dogs being released outside the office of a BJP rebel. One of the most striking developments has emerged from Nathdwara in Rajsamand district, where BJP candidate Dinesh Prajapat announced his support for Congress nominee Ajay Gurjar in Ward 23, just days before polling. Prajapat, however, made it clear that his political identity remains with the BJP and that he would continue to remain associated with the party. The episode has added an unexpected twist to what would ordinarily be a straightforward BJP-Congress contest. It also highlights the importance of personal equations and local-level dynamics in municipal elections, where candidates often face voters with whom they have long-standing social and personal relationships. An equally unusual scene unfolded in Sikar's Ward 15, where former Municipal Council chairman and Congress candidate Jeevan Khan was seen blessing BJP candidate Simran during campaigning. Khan placed his hand on Simran's head in a gesture of goodwill, creating a striking image of political rivals sharing a moment of warmth during an otherwise fiercely contested election. The incident underlines how local elections can sometimes produce relationships that do not fit neatly into conventional party politics. Kota provided another example of political civility. In Ward 54, BJP candidate Vivek Rajvanshi and Congress candidate Manish Sharma reportedly shook hands when they came face-to-face during campaigning. Elsewhere in Kota, candidates adopted more unconventional campaign styles. BJP candidate Pratibha Suman was seen roasting peanuts on a roadside pushcart in Ward 64, while BJP candidate Soma Ahluwalia reportedly bowed before elderly residents during her campaign in Ward 56. Not every story from the campaign trail has been about political drama. Residents of Royal Suncity Colony in Kota's Ward 33 have announced a boycott of voting, alleging inadequate development work in their area. The protest puts local civic issues at the heart of the election debate and signals that candidates must answer not only for party politics but also for visible work or the lack of it on the ground. Kota also witnessed an unusual voter-list error in Ward 29. In Part 12, the details of a voter named Jagdish, including his name, father's name and house number, were reportedly correct, but the photograph displayed against the entry was that of Lord Hanuman. The unusual error has raised questions about the accuracy of electoral rolls and the verification process. The election battle took a particularly unusual turn in Dungarpur's Ward 31. On Friday, a Municipal Council shelter-home vehicle reportedly released around 15 dogs outside the office of Sunil Jain, a BJP rebel contesting as an independent. Jain alleged that the incident was an abuse of official machinery intended to weaken his campaign. The allegation has added another layer to the growing tensions between official party candidates and rebels contesting independently. Political tensions also surfaced in Jaipur's Ward 149, where residents reportedly surrounded the vehicle of Amer MLA Prashant Sahdev Sharma during his campaign visit in support of Congress candidate Anjali Brahmbhatt. The protesters allegedly waved black flags as the MLA arrived in the Handipura area, turning the campaign visit into a moment of confrontation. Amid the local-level turbulence, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma continued the BJP's campaign pitch. Addressing a gathering in Bikaner, he said people were moving from a double-engine government towards a riple-engine government, referring to coordination between governments at different levels. He in fact has organised roadshows in Bikaner, Udaipur and Ajmer. However, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, verbally attacking the BJP government in the state, said, It is the first time a Chief Minister feels compelled to conduct a roadshow for local self-government elections, including municipal corporations, municipal councils, and municipalities. This isn't a positive sign; it is their biggest drawback. They have effectively proved that the government has been non-functional for the past two and a half years, leading to widespread public anger. The Rajasthan civic elections are increasingly looking less like a simple BJP-versus-Congress contest and more like a collection of local political dramas. Candidates are crossing traditional lines, rivals are exchanging gestures of goodwill, rebels are challenging party establishments, residents are threatening boycotts, and campaign events are producing unexpected confrontations. Ultimately, however, the decisive actor remains the voter. Behind the headlines, the real question is whether these unusual campaign moments translate into votes on polling day or remain memorable episodes from one of Rajasthan's most colourful municipal election campaigns.

South Asian and MENA cinema take centre stage at BFI London Film Festival 2026
Highlights The 70th BFI London Film Festival will showcase films from across south Asia and the Middle East and North Africa A new 4K restoration of Kamal Amrohis Pakeezah will screen at BFI IMAX New films explore beauty standards, political resistance, displacement, queer identity, war, censorship and family The 70th BFI London Film Festival is turning the spotlight towards filmmakers from south Asia and the Middle East and North Africa, bringing a striking mix of political cinema, intimate dramas, genre films and restored classics to UK audiences this October. Running from 7 to 18 October, the festival will feature films from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Yemen, Morocco and Egypt. Across the selection, filmmakers use everything from body horror and dark comedy to documentary and archive footage to explore the pressures shaping lives across the region. At the centre of the south Asian selection is a landmark restoration of one of Indian cinemas most celebrated films. Pakeezah returns to the big screen Kamal Amrohis 1972 classic Pakeezah , starring Meena Kumari, will screen at BFI IMAX on 18 October following a new 4K restoration by the Film Heritage Foundation. The musical tragedy, centred on a courtesan and her relationship with a man from a different social world, remains one of Hindi cinemas defining works. Its inclusion alongside contemporary films also creates a link between south Asias cinematic heritage and the new generation of filmmakers now finding audiences internationally. The festivals south Asian programme features several distinctive contemporary voices. Bangladeshi filmmaker Rubaiyat Hossains The Difficult Bride turns the rituals surrounding marriage into feminist body horror, following bride-to-be Zaineen as beauty expectations, social restrictions and supernatural warnings begin to close in. Shalini Adnanis Our Share of Sand follows Maya, a young woman returning to rural India and gradually confronting the child labour, environmental destruction and corruption connected to her familys wealth. Meanwhile, The Calf Doll sees Indian filmmaker Ankur Hooda use his grandparents as improvised versions of themselves in a para-fiction about village rituals, migration and industrialisation in Haryana. Pakistan is represented by Sarmad Sultan Khoosats Lali , a dark comedy about two emotionally wounded strangers brought together through an arranged marriage. The film reunites Khoosat with Joyland filmmaker Saim Sadiq, who serves as editor and casting director. Nepali filmmaker Abinash Bikram Shahs Elephants in the Fog follows a matriarch from the kinnar community searching for her missing daughter. The film also made history at Cannes as the first Nepali film selected for the Official Selection. CHRONICLES FROM THE SIEGE BFI London Cinema as resistance across MENA The MENA selection similarly moves between personal stories and political history. Shab-Nameh: Women of Irans Forgotten Left + Ghazal-e Sorkh combines film and live performance as artist Maryam Tafakory explores the erased histories of women involved in political resistance in Iran. Mohsen Amiryousefis The Banning Curse takes a more playful approach to censorship, using autofiction, archive footage and the figure of the Angel of Death to revisit the Iranian directors career and the political and cultural forces that repeatedly obstructed it. In Chronicles from the Siege , Palestinian filmmaker Abdallah Al-Khatib connects five stories of Palestinians living under military occupation, where ordinary aspects of daily life become questions of survival. Mohanad Yaqubis Revolutionaries Never Die looks backwards through the 16mm archive of Lebanese filmmaker Jocelyne Saab, using footage filmed across Palestine, Lebanon and Iran between 1973 and 1983 as a way of engaging with memory and political history. Other films turn towards displacement, identity and family. Concrete Land , by Asmahan Bkerat, follows a Black Palestinian Bedouin family navigating poverty and repeated displacement in Jordan, while Tunisian filmmaker Leyla Bouzids In a Whisper centres on a young queer woman returning to her family's home after her uncles death. Stories of war, family and survival The programme also brings more intimate stories of people navigating conflict and social upheaval. The Station , directed by Sara Ishaq, transforms a women-only petrol station in Yemen into a space of humour and sisterhood as its owner tries to protect her younger brother from being recruited into the war. Iranian filmmaker Ali Asgaris A Bit of Light follows a doctor whose practice is shut after he treats anti-government protesters, forcing him to confront the responsibilities he has towards his family and community. The Friends House Is Here , made secretly in Iran by Hossein Keshavarz and Maryam Ataei, follows a dancer and playwright creating political art within Tehrans underground scene. There is also room for genre cinema and international stars. Bassam Tariqs Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother stars Mahershala Ali as a devout Muslim hitman who becomes a single father after his wifes sudden death, while Anthony Wonkes In the Shadows draws inspiration from the true story of Somali boxer Ramla Ali, with Jasmine Jobson playing a refugee who pursues boxing in secret before representing Somalia at the Olympic Games. Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother BFI London A wider global programme The MENA and south Asian selections form part of a much broader 70th-anniversary programme. The 2026 festival will present 251 features, shorts, series and immersive works from 88 countries, including 33 world premieres. Women filmmakers account for 109 works, or 43 per cent of the overall programme. The festival will take place across London, partner cinemas around the UK and BFI Player, giving audiences beyond the capital access to the programme. BFI Members' priority booking opens at 10am on 10 September, followed by general sale at 10am on 17 September. Additional tickets will be released from 10am on 1 October. For south Asian and MENA cinema in particular, this year's festival offers something more substantial than a regional showcase. From Pakeezah 's restored grandeur to films confronting censorship, displacement and identity, the programme places both cinematic heritage and urgent new voices firmly within the conversation around contemporary world cinema.

22 Indian sailors held in two ship hijackings: Why Somali piracy is making a comeback
Last week, the Indian government said two ships carrying Indian crew members had been hijacked in separate incidents off Yemen and Somalia.

But the two incidents have also renewed concerns about piracy off Somalia, at a time when shipping in the wider region is already under pressure from the conflict in West Asia.

US judge blocks Trump policy suspending visas for nationals of 75 countries
A federal judge in New York has vacated a Trump administration policy that suspended the processing of visas from 75 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Russia and Somalia, whose nationals the Trump administration deemed likely to require public assistance in the United States. US District Judge Jeannette Vargas, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, set aside the policy Friday as contrary to law and in excess of statutory authority. Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his authority by issuing the policy, which uns afoul of the Immigration and Nationality Act by mandating he refusal of visas to eligible applicants without any basis in law, the judge ruled. Vargas said the policy also undermines the congressional requirement that puts consular officers at the forefront of any visa decision. Congress imbued these officers with exclusive authority and discretion to determine if an immigrant is eligible for a visa based upon review of specific and detailed criter

Two vessels with 22 Indians on board hijacked off Yemen, Somalia
New Delhi, Aug 21: Two commercial vessels carrying a total of 22 Indian nationals have been hijacked by armed pirates in separate incidents off Yemen and Somalia, a senior shipping ministry official said Friday. The Indian crew members aboard both vessels are safe, according to the latest information available, the official said. The Eritrea-flagged oil products tanker M.T. Sibu 1, carrying 20 crew members, including 16 Indians, was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden on August 20, about 30 nautical miles off the Yemeni coast, the official said. The crew also includes one Syrian, one Sudanese and one Iraqi national, while the nationality of another seafarer has yet to be confirmed. A second vessel, the Cameroon-flagged M/V LUTUF, was hijacked on August 17 off Somalia's Puntland coast, according to the official. The vessel has 10 crew members, including six Indians. The Forward Seamen's Union of India (FSUI) in a post on X raised concerns over dangers faced by Indian seafarers amid the Iran war. It released footage of what it claimed to be a hijacking of a vessel carrying 22 crew members, including 21 Indians, in the Strait of Hormuz on April 22. The footage was posted on Friday and it was unclear if the FSUI was talking of a separate hijacking or the latest ones. The shipping ministry official quoted above said, As reported by Recruitment and Placement Service Licence (RPSL) agency - S K S Krishi Marine Services (Opc) Private Limited, six armed pirates are presently onboard the vessel (M.T. Sibhu-1) and have taken control of the vessel. The RPSL agency has been advised to submit an incident report and subsequent periodic updates through the e-Navik online marine casualty reporting system, the official said. Maritime tracking information indicates the tanker was approached by an unauthorised vessel before control of the ship was lost. The incident occurred as piracy activity off Somalia and in the Gulf of Aden has increased this year. A second vessel, the Cameroon-flagged M/V LUTUF, was hijacked on August 17 off Somalia's Puntland coast, according to the official and maritime security reports. The vessel has 10 crew members, including six Indians. The vessel is reported to have been boarded by eight pirates, armed with AK-47 type weapons and operating from two skiffs. The crew initially mustered in the citadel. However, the pirates gained access and subsequently brought them to the bridge. The vessel is currently under pirate control. No injuries have been reported thus far, he said. The vessel was seized about 3 nautical miles off Marraya in Puntland's Eyl district and was subsequently taken toward Somalia's Nugaal coast, according to a Somali official cited by The Associated Press. The crew includes six Indians, one Turkish national, one Georgian national and two Serbian security guards. Cargo ship M/V LUTUF was carrying Turkish weapons, communications, and satellite equipment and destined for a Turkish military training facility in Mogadishu. The 10-person crew included nationals from India, Turkey, Georgia, and Serbia. The hijackers - eight armed men suspected of involvement in a previous hijacking - steered the ship toward the Nugaal coast. The renewed threat adds to security pressures already facing commercial shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and wider Indian Ocean region, where vessels have also had to contend with attacks linked to the conflict in Yemen. The two hijackings also come as Indian seafarers face heightened security concerns elsewhere in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions involving Iran, Israel and the United States have disrupted one of the world's most important shipping corridors. The developments are particularly significant for India, which has become the world's second-largest supplier of seafarers after the Philippines. The 2026 BIMCO-ICS Seafarer Workforce Report estimates that India supplies 311,936 seafarers, underscoring the country's large exposure to risks affecting merchant crews worldwide.
China has sent its 49th naval escort fleet to the Gulf of Aden as African countries prepare a regional task force against piracy and armed robbery.

China has maintained escort missions in the area since 2008, while the proposed African force is yet to become operational.

Trump Wins BIG Ahead Of Midterms, Gets Court Nod To 'Deport' 1,100 Somalians
A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama cleared the way for the Donald Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nearly 1,100 Somali nationals living in the United States, potentially putting them at risk of deportation. The ruling marks a major development in the Trump administrations broader immigration crackdown. U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs allowed the Department of Homeland Security to move forward with terminating Somalias TPS designation, after the Supreme Court in June limited judicial challenges to the administrations efforts to end similar protections for migrants from several countries. The decision reverses an earlier move by Burroughs, who had blocked the termination of Somali TPS in March while considering a lawsuit brought by Somali nationals and immigrant advocacy groups. The plaintiffs had argued that the decision was influenced by discriminatory rhetoric targeting Somali immigrants.
